Location

Salinas Park is located in the town of Alhos Vedros, part of the municipality of Moita, specifically in the Bairro João da Silva area. Its position offers an interesting perspective on the riverside surroundings, being close to the waters of the Tagus estuary. From this point, it is possible to see the Mother Church of São Lourenço, a striking element in the local landscape, which stands out against the green environment of the park.

Memory of the Salt Pans

The name of the park, "Salinas" (Salt Pans), refers to its history and the original function of this land. With an area of approximately five hectares, this place was once a vast expanse dedicated to salt production, through ancient salt pans. Its transformation into a park is a testament to the change in land use in the region, but keeps alive the memory of the community's intimate connection with the natural resources of the estuary.

Visitors will find various facilities here, such as a multi-sports court for various sports and recreational areas, including a playground, which provide leisure moments for people of all ages.
